SUMMARY:
On Monday, November 20, 2017, Sheriff's Deputy B. Ortiz was assigned to the contract city of Loma Linda. Ortiz was patrolling the above area and conducting a routine security check of a local Loma Linda Park.

Ortiz observed suspicious activity involving an apparent transient subject, later identified as Thomas Jason Tompkins. Ortiz saw Tompkins placing himself in very close proximity to a group of young females at the park. It was evident to Ortiz that Tompkins was not related to the juveniles, but was showing an unusual amount of attention and intently staring at the minors.

At one point Tompkins began to remove some of his clothing exposing himself. Ortiz immediately detained him and determined Thompkins had an active arrest warrant. Ortiz initially arrested Tompkins for the warrant. After further investigation, Ortiz developed enough probable cause to believe that Tompkins was annoying and harassing the juveniles.
